Comfy bed & great Curry
Beautiful old building, with a really comfortable bed
I received a wonderful friendly professional welcome & had an amazing curry from their restaurant. There's also a nice bar & garden
Only downside, I couldn't connect to the WiFi

Basic Accommodation
Old building, basic room needed deep cleaning. Noisey water pipes. The cost was too high.

An affordable, stay close to Bath. The breakfast was nice. Be sure to walk across the bridge and visit the restaurant. Small, clean, convenient, not a luxury hotel.

My wife and I were looking for an old English inn and this fit the bill perfectly. The staff was great and our meal in the pub just what we needed. I enjoyed watching the dart game going on in the pub. I would have rated the property higher but this was a building built in the 1600’s. It was just what we were looking for but not perfect for everyone.

Halford Bridge Inn, deluxe double
There was nothing luxury about the 'deluxe double room.'
The room was cold and had a strange damp smell. When we asked if the heating could be turned on we were given a portable heater. The wiring and sockets looked very old and there were extension cables on the floor. The bathroom had mouldy grouting and peeling paint on the ceiling. There were no windows in the bedroom and the door did not fit, so that you could see daylight outside through the gap in the door.
Breakfast was not available until 9,30am, and we declined it when it was still not available at 9.30. They seeed a bit bemused when we asked about breakfast, as if this was an unusual request.

Minor improvements to make a great overnight stay.
On arrival the gentleman was unable to sort out our check in and had to get another member of staff to help us. There seemed to be some confusion however the second man then took the details from my phone and we were shown to our room. The initial feeling wasn’t too great, with a single pendant light with one of those old energy saving bulbs that has to warm up and twin beds with only one having a bedside table and lamp. However the beds were very comfortable which was a definite plus point. I then found another table and lamp in the wardrobe and got the room looking more cosy. The well stocked tea tray was welcome with bottled water too. The bathroom, although old, was large, clean and the shower very good, but could do with a shelf to put your gels or soap in. There was a TV and we were comfortable and happy.
Unfortunately we were woken by banging and talking in the corridor at 1.30am, followed by a television going on in the room next door. I considered banging on the wall but didn’t want to escalate the situation and simply tried to ignore it. However this is an old building with thin walls and the disturbance lasted until 3.30am which I told the staff about in the morning. Given the problems at check in I wondered if other family members in the hotel didn’t know that we were staying in the room.
Overall, only a little money spent on decorating and furnishings would improve the room and without the disturbance I would have given 4 stars.

Splendid hosts
We had a superb 2 night stay here, this past weekend.
The hosts are absolutely wonderful, rooms very quiet and comfortable and the food was excellent.
It’s great to see what has been done with this Inn.

Nice place to stay
It was a nice place to stay for the night, very nice staff. The only negative was that the food was very expensive £18 for a burger, that was a shame so we went else where to eat. Great breakfast though.

Stayed one night whilst attending a wedding nearby.
We were welcomed with a smile and treated in a friendly and professional way throughout.
Room was very comfortable and the breakfast was served really nicely.

Having the chance to stay at a coaching inn from the 16th Century, with its cobbled pathway, stone courtyard, and quirky floors was something you can't find in many parts of the world.

Grade 2 listed building re-conditioned. Quiet stay and amicable staff.
Catering offer very poor. Only one hour for breakfast and closes early for dinner.
Rooms need a bit of deco fitting as they look a bit plain.

Charming but tired
This is a very old hotel with lots of charm but also steep stairs, uneven floors and somewhat tired bathrooms. The bed was very comfy and the bedding was soft. Tv in the room was great! However my shower was not clean.

Very poor condition very dirty very cold they kept turning the radiators off . Bathroom was appalling the dirt around the bath the walls, had a plug in on show to keep rats/mice away . It’s such a shame as it has potential it’s a very old building and has a lot of character. But I was taken back when showers my room I have never stopped in such a terribly kept room .Won’t be returning again.
